49 People Infected With Dengue Fever In Hawaii Outbreak
Hawaii health officials said Saturday that 49 people have now been infected with the mosquito-borne disease in an outbreak spreading across the Big Island.
If you don't what dengue fever is:
Dengue fever, also known as breakbone fever, is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash that is similar to measles. In a small proportion of cases, the disease develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding, low levels of blood platelets and blood plasma leakage, or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure occurs.
Don't worry, there will still be time and budget for CDC to study guns as a public health issue.
